Eric Lindsey Season 1 Episode 76

Meet Tiffany Ward
Tiffany is a full-time sales executive in Richmond, Virginia who struck gold with real estate as her side hustle! 🏆🏠 She jumpstarted her journey by “house hacking” at age 22—inviting a roommate to help cover her mortgage 🛏️💰.
Scaling While Employed
Tiffany balances her 9-to-5 by time blocking ⏰📅, waking up early 🌅, and using travel downtime to underwrite deals or tune in to podcasts 🎧. She prefers long-term rentals and invests in multifamily properties, all while thriving in her tech career 💻⚡.
Big Win: 10-Unit in Greensboro
Partnering with a mentor, Tiffany purchased a 10-unit workforce housing complex 🏘️🤝 using a straightforward local bank loan. Despite COVID turbulence 🦠, they doubled investor money (2.3× equity multiple) in five years 💥💵.
Key Tips for Busy Professionals
Time Management ⏱️💡: Small, consistent actions beat giant, overwhelmed sprints.
Networking 🤝🌐: Meetups, brokers, and property managers can speed up success.
Partnerships 🧩🏆: Real estate is a team sport—lean on others’ skills and expertise.
